WARWICK, R.I. -- A local man has been arrested on a charge he exposed himself behind an elementary school, the police said.

The man, 86, of Warwick faces a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct for exposing his genitals in public. He is due in court Oct. 21.

Harold F. Scott Elementary School officials notified the police around noon Thursday after somebody reported seeing an exposed man at the edge of a woody area near the school, Capt. Joseph Coffey said.

Capt. Robert Nelson said that after interviewing the suspect, officers concluded that "he had no nefarious intentions."

Reached at home, the man said he was taking a daily walk and stopped to urinate.

He was given a no-trespassing on school grounds order, the police said.
